Does too many apps slow down iphone's performance?

does too many apps slow down iphone's performance?

31 apps is nothing. I have 130 apps XD. Then again, I'm using an iPhone 4S which has more RAM compared to the 3GS. RAM is everything when it comes to speed. To use the app switcher, press the home button twice quickly and a list of your recently opened apps will appear. Then hold down on any app and all the apps will go to wiggle mode (like they do when you're deleting apps. Now, simply tap on the red icon that appears at the top left corner of any app you don't want running in the background. This will free up RAM and should make your phone faster.

IOS7 slows down iphone

I am the biggest fan for Apple. I love using Apple gadgets and my iPhone 4S. I am pretty knowledgable in technical aspects of OSX and iOS and its basic functionality. After i updated my 4S to iOS7, my device has bcome dead slow though d free space is 4GB+. Its pretty annoying and disappointing. There are several apps like "Google Places" crashes though i try to reinstall it. I personally feel iOS7 has attracted many disappointed clients like me.
It takes time to call back when i access a missed call on my locked screen.
It takes time to access any app when i access it on my locked screen
Camera doesn't let me click as easily as i was able to to do it on iOS6 and many more..
I tried reinstalling the OS and have done all possible troubleshooting by myself and also by taking help from my Pals who are apple certified technicians and the situation remains the same.
This article is for iOS developers to rework ASAP on the bugs identified to ensure they dont drop the value of their product.

IOS7 slows down iPhone 4, are you going to solve that?

Or do you want us that still have iPhone 4 to upgrade to a new iPhone?

To whom are you speaking to? Apple? Nobody from Apple reads these forums, this is a user to user forum.

I sent an email from my iPhone 3GS (via iCloud account) with around 16GB of attachment. It slowed down the phone for a few seconds, then appeared to be sent. However, the message is now not in the sent box, and I can't see an outbox at all. Any ideas?

That changes things a little bit , login to icloud.com and see if you can find it in your sent folder.
If it is there you did send, just need to wait until you phone syncs "sent folder" perhaps on wifi.
If it is not, then I would say it is lost and you may have to send again. They have 20 megs limit, so make sure that message plus attachment is under that limit.

HT4528 My iPhone 4s has slowed down in the last few days.

OK it slowed down but now trying to get information on web browsers does not work. Does anyone have a suggestion. Could this be from iCloud dumping pictures on my phone?

added to the problem you have mine suddenly closes the app I am in.
I reckon it is because of not updating the software with ios8.
I read some reviews that ios 8 makes it hard to use your iphone and will need lot of memory

IPhone 4s cover flow slow down and jerky help

Hi all
i have copied my music over from my backup 3GS to iPhone 4s but in cover flow it is very very jerky and not as smooth at all, my 3gs is way smoother an much better than on the iphone 4s it even has problems loading the covers up as there is a delay in doing so as it seems to b slow
whats happend there not as good as my 3GS
So i tried to remove all songs and turned off the iPhone and powered the phone back up and put the music back on and its still jerky and not as smooth what the hells going on this phone should breeze through cover flow view
My 3GS is still on iOS 4 does anyon have the same problems ? Try to scroll fast and it just jerks and slows down but like I say not on the 3gs
Any help

Hi, I have the same problem with my 4s. After reading all the suggestion on this and simmilar forums I checked my picture files assigned to my albums. I selected in iTunes an album, then right click to get pop up menu, selected "get info. Then I went to artwork, copied it (right click, copy), then I copied the picture to picture editor to see the properties. I noticed that some of my pictures assigned to albums are huge, something like 2000 x 2000 pix.
When I repliced them with smaller ones, i.e. max 600 x 600, everything become smoth. Now my cover flow work perfectly as it should be. Definitly ther must be something wrong with iOS5 because before I did not notice such a problem on 3GS of 4 model, even I had the big picture assigned to the album

IPhone 3G screen response slowing down with OS updates

My iPhone is getting slower with every new update of the OS. Sliding bar, received SMS list...generally every screen presentation now takes 1 or more seconds to display. This has only slowed down after the last couple of OS updates. Not happy...it used to have an instant response. Is the new programming for the new iPhone 4 included slowing down the OS for iPhone 3G?

iOs4x definitely does slow down a 3G. The 3G just doesn't have a powerful enough processor.
One trick that seems to make a big difference is to switch off Spotleight indexing. Go to Settings, General, Spotlight Search amd deselect all items.

Does a MacBook Pro slow down after OS updates much like an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad?

I have A 4th generation iPod touch that I've had for almost two years, I also have an iPhone 4s and an iPad 2. When I bought the iPod touch it ran very quick and no sluggishness now with a few iOS updates over the months it's pretty slow and sluggish. So far both my iPhone 4s and my iPad 2 are running very good. What I've heard from friends who have iPhone's 3GS or an iPad 1 is that they're both sluggish after the iOS updates over the months and years. My question is, not owning a MacBook, does this computer slow down the same way the ios devices do after months and years of OS updates? My experience with my netbook is that it's become much more stable then when i first bought it with no sluggishness what so ever over the months of updates through Microsoft updates. Thanks.

Any computer can be slower when running a more demanding system than it was designed for. In my general experience, though, a Mac will continue running just fine on systems two major versions after what it shipped with. (For example, a machine that shipped with Leopard (10.5) will probably be able to run Lion (10.7) just fine, provided there's enough RAM and the hard drive isn't too full.) The only time I've had major issues with sluggishness was with an old PowerBook that shipped with Mac OS 9 and that I updated eventually to Mac OS X 10.3... a total of four versions later! I probably would have been better off leaving it at 10.2, but wanted some feature in 10.3 (I forget what at this point). And it's still in a cabinet in my office, in perfect working order.
Regarding iOS, my first-generation iPod Touch, updated to the latest system it can support, still works just fine. Of course, it feels more sluggish when I do something with it because I've gotten used to expecting more from my iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
So, no, a Mac should not get sluggish over time, as long as you don't try to push it beyond it's capabilities. The only Mac I have ever felt it necessary to replace before about 5-6 years of age was the one I dropped on the floor.
Edit: Also, your comparison with Windows downloading updates is not quite the same thing as what I've said above. Upgrading a Mac from 10.6 to 10.7 is like upgrading a Windows machine from Windows Vista to Windows 7. The free incremental updates (10.7.1, 10.7.2, etc), which are more similar to automatic Windows updates, definitely should not cause sluggishness.

HT6058 Will this new update slow down my iphone 4 even more than the last update?

Will this new update slow down my iphone 4 even more than the last update?

Thats a hard question to answer. The iPhone 4 has older technology than newer models which can cause the device to lag. Depending on what data and settings you have on the device, it could run slower. I would probably make sure to constantly close apps in multitasking and possible think about restoring the device as a new device. Make sure to backup your data prior to the restore

Do I have go keep the music on iTunes once I have it on my iPhone as its slowing down my computer

Do I have go keep the music on iTunes once I have it on my iPhone as its slowing down my computer

Realistically, yes.
If you delete the music from your iTunes, you will have to use Manually Manage for your phone in the future because a Sync will attempt to remove songs that you have removed from iTunes.
More importantly, if you ever need to Restore your phone, only media in your iTunes Library will be added to your phone. So if you delete the computer's Library, you will have lost all your music. There are several discussions in this forum from people who have done this and have now lost all their music.
There is no specific reason why the iTunes Library should slow down your computer. Are you sure it isn't something else that is causing the problem?

Will the iPhone 6.1.3 update slow down my iPhone 4?

I've been a little reluctant to update my iPhone 4 from ios 5.0.1 to 6.1.3 because I'm worried that it will severely slow down my phone. I had this problem happen to me before with my iPhone 3. Every time I updated the softwear, my phone got slower and slower. I like some of the new features of the recent updates to the iPhone softwear, but I'm just afraid that it will make the phone slower than it already is.
I'd love to get the new iPhone 5, but I recently lost my job and just can't afford it.
Thanks, Paul

Sorry, but I disagree with your post. I have 4 iPhones in my household and none of them have poor battery life and the wifi is working on all 4 of the, so that shoots your theory out of the water, unless I don't count as part of "everyone else".

3g slow down with unjailbroken iphone

Is this slow down with os4 affecting anyone with an unjailbroken iphone 3g or am i the only one
problems im currently facing
slide to answer bar not sliding resultinting in loads of missed calls
slow text input
apps crashing
phone crashing
apps very slow to start

You are not alone!! Although there are a lot of nice new features with iOS4 if I could revert back to the old OS I would. I am experiencing all of the problems you describe with the addition of the device switching itself off for no reason, then taking an age to restart.
I am guessing that the hardware in the 3G just isn't up to the job anymore, but some kind of warning from Apple about possible negative impacts on useability might have been nice.
As Steve Jobs said a few days ago "we care about every user" so lets see if they do anything to sort this out for iPhone 3G users
